Is the line that says: Error! Entity sky_camera in solid volume! at 0.0 0.0 0.0 my problem, and how do I fix it?


Problem started after I made a skybox and sky_camera following spaceweasels tut.

By deleting solid brush sky_camera is in.

You should have only one sky camera.. in your 3dskybox. Your map should encompass the centre axis in your world space. This is where the sky camera "records" the world from.

Interlopers.net has an excellent error reference tool, hold on whilst i go find the link.

0.0 0.0 0.0 indicates that the sky camera in question is at the origin. When you first open your map you are looking at the origin. If you are inside your map you need to delete the sky camera that is at the origin and make sure you have one in the center of your skybox. If you start off in your skybox you need to move everything so that the origin is in your map, in this case you also need to move the sky camera out of the brush that it is touching.

Thanks for the fast reply, yes I did have 2 sky_cameras and one was on the origin. Thanks I deleted the unneeded one and it all works good! I must have misread something allong the way.

I used to make the same mistake when i was learning to use 3d-skyboxes. It's not an uncommon novice mistake.:thumbup1:
